plotRGB | R Documentation |
Make a Red-Green-Blue plot based on three layers (in a RasterBrick or RasterStack). Three layers (sometimes referred to as "bands" because they may represent different bandwidths in the electromagnetic spectrum) are combined such that they represent the red, green and blue channel. This function can be used to make 'true (or false) color images' from Landsat and other multi-band satellite images.
## S4 method for signature 'RasterStackBrick'
plotRGB(x, r=1, g=2, b=3, scale, maxpixels=500000, stretch=NULL,
ext=NULL, interpolate=FALSE, colNA='white', alpha, bgalpha, addfun=NULL, zlim=NULL,
zlimcol=NULL, axes=FALSE, xlab='', ylab='', asp=NULL, add=FALSE, margins=FALSE, ...)
